Definition
Keyword strategy is the plan for selecting and using keywords to achieve marketing and SEO goals. It is how you talk about finding, converting, or keeping customers without waving your hands. Name it clearly, then let the next decision — a hire, a price, a test, or a pass — follow from that meaning.

Common mistake
Using Keyword strategy as a label instead of a fact. If you cannot point to the evidence — a number, a customer, or a written assumption — you are using the word as jargon.
